Another Democratic candidate, lawyer Darlene Dominik, raised $697 during the three-month period, according to filings to the Federal Election Commission.

Slotkin's receipts also indicated that most of her funding — more than $433,000 — came from individuals, compared with $125,413 for Bishop. Far more of his funding for the quarter — $240,203 — came from political action committees.

Slotkin, who lives in Holly and held various positions in both the Obama and George W. Bush administrations, announced her candidacy in July, making this her first campaign finance report. Bishop, meanwhile, has far more cash on hand — $709,530 to her $376,853 — having raised nearly $710,000 toward his re-election to a third term.

The district, Michigan's 8th, has long been seen by Democrats as a possible pick up, despite it being reliably Republican in recent years. The Cook Political Report, a handicapping and analysis service in Washington, D.C., considers it "lean Republican" in 2018.
